In the "Requirements" section of ob-gnuplot.el's header comment, the
link given for gnuplot-mode no longer works. The same broken link is
also present in org-manual.org.
Since gnuplot-mode is available on MELPA, I think the most helpful
advice for people trying to set up org-babel-gnuplot would be to install
it from there.

I recommend the gnuplot-mode from git:
http://github.com/bruceravel/gnuplot-mode/. I found the MELPA version
unsatisfactory in that it seemed to have missing functionality.
Best wishes,

This is complicated. The FSF frowns upon referencing Github in a GNU
manual, or even MELPA. More precisely, no feature in Emacs proper — Org
ships with it — should necessitate to direct user towards a non-free
platform. No feature should require a library that should be included in
Emacs either. See, for example bug#32722 or "Dependencies of Org" in
Emacs-devel ML.
At this point, I think the only way to stay in Emacs is to move
ob-gnuplot (and other similar libraries that require non-Emacs
libraries) in GNU ELPA or some such.
I'm Cc'ing Bastien for his opinion about it.

I understand the FSF's position from reading about their issue with
html-ize. It's not my position - but that's a different matter.

I've simply removed the broken link from ob-gnuplot.el without
mentioning the (currently active) GitHub repository.
